• The minimum acceptable CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is 3.0 out of a possible 4.0, which is equivalent to “B” on a letter scale, or at least a 3.2/4.0 over the last two years of study
• Prerequisites:
  • two terms of calculus (differential and integral calculus, including constrained optimization methods, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, constrained optimization using the method of Lagrangian multipliers and Riemann integration)
  • one term of matrix algebra (rank, inverse, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and quadratic forms)
  • statistics: a full-year course in statistics from an economics or mathematics department
• If the applicant's degree is not in Economics
  • An Honours B.A. in Economics is the normal requirement, although students holding an ordinary B.A., whether in economics or another discipline, may also be eligible for admission
